Pictorial History of the American Circus John and Alice Durant 4th printing 1964

Description: Dust jacket chips, small tears, scuffing, price clipped, Previous owners writing front pastedown. Pages clean, binding tight. From the inside flap: This is the first book of its kind to be published, the first to tell the complete pictorial history of the circus from its Old World beginnings to the present. Its 336 oversized pages are crammed with more than 50,000 words of text and over 500 illustrations in color and black and white, including old prints, posters, paintings, cartoons and photographs many of them extremely rare and never before published. Nearly three years were spent researching material in museums, libraries and private circus collections throughout the country. Much of the information on the modern circus was gathered first hand while the authors travelled with two shows, observing and photographing circus life behind the scenes, in action and on tour.
